Ok, so my buddy had an app downloaded from the google play store. back when the S4 Mini was newish. He had some kind of photo/file locker app which all i can tell you is it made a folder on the internal storage simply called "Locker" and all the encrypted files that were locked with that app were in there but of course un-readable because that are apparently actually encrypted to some extent. the phone went overboard in the salt water, couldnt be repaired but i managed to get it running enough to pull the "locker" folder with all the locked data off the storage. He doesnt remember the name of the app used and no longer has the google account to look at his download history to find it. but the icon was blue-ish and it created a folder called "locker" on the storage. he entered his passcode on a dialpad looking menu and boom, his locked files showed up. but thats all i know about it. hes trying to get that data readable again, and changing the extension to jpeg or jpg or png didnt work. just wondering if anyone here may have some sugguestions of apps to try to get these files readable again, if i could find the exact program used my plan was to install it on his new phone. set a password and lock a random picture so this way the program would created all the directories or whatever it needed, and i can copy the recovered files from the old phone and copy them into the new phone in the appropriate directory, and hopefully unlock those files. sorry if im jumping around alot. so im trying to find a way to make these files readable again is the end goal. ive tried for days to get them unlocked. and if anyone can help me they are on these forums. Any help ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure which one is the video because there is no file extension or anything. But I will try Photoshop here shortly and see if I can at least open the pictures. I'll post s snapshot of the files
Download
Es file explorer
And press on the picture and choose open as image
And it will work
This screen shot may help you
I have tried both photoshop and es file explorer. no luck with either. i tried every single file as image and even tried video on each. neither worked. any other ideas? i appreciate all the help so far :fingers-crossed:

I uploaded one of the smaller files which should be the image and one of the larger ones which should be the video. both just say there are no previews available when i try and open either of them.
If the files were encrypted then no matter which app you use, you won't be able to open them. You need to decrypt them first. To decrypt them you need the password they were encrypted with and the encrypting/decrypting algorithm (provided by the locker app). I would try to find the app (and copy the files to its folder), or try to decrypt it using various decrypting algorithms, provided the app uses a standard well-known one.

Since I can't post in the q & a forum I am posting here but mods feel free to move it. So I have a wm6.1 device and a Mac computer and I regularly send files, like cab and music files with out an issue. However, today I noticed that I send a music file like usual and the file is no where to be found on the devices however space about the same size as the file is being taken up. So I send another two files(one music and one cab file) with out an issue at all. Then later on I send a cab file, but I don't see it on the device even though space is being take up. This may have happened prior to this, but I didn't realize it or something. So how can A) regain that space by deleting those files not showing up, or B) find the files that are not showing up and use them as I intended to. I am loosing space because of this. Option of last(and I mean last) resort is a hard rest which I don't like to do. Thank you....

get a good file browser and search for the missing files. You may want to use a wild card search (*.cab,*.mp3)
if you still can not find them look in the folders in /Windows and /Temp or or equivalent on the device
well i am using total commader so I dunno how good that is or not. Not to mention I have done what you suggested and even searched for files added with in the last 3 days and nothing on all fronts but yet the sapce is being taken up by something that I can't seem to find on my device. Memory maid was no help either(granted I only did a clean up). But thank you.
have you tried using the default file explorer?
Does anyone get annoyed with this ics bug since they upgraded to ics?
My photo Gallery is now displaying all photos and images on my Xoom, even thumbnail images from all my app folders and music folders. All of sudden, my gallery now has over thousand of images instead only photos from DCIM folder.
Does anybody know any way to work around this? Is there a filtering option in the settings somewhere?
Btw, I'm still on official ics, unrooted.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
from what I understand
I think you need to make a file called (dot)nomedia or .nomedia and put it in any folder you don't want to show up in the gallery. I could be thinking of something else, but I'm pretty sure that's how you do it. That would require you to be rooted though I believe.

Thanks for the tips guys
@liftman-, Will first try your method, seems to be easiest to way out for now for me
@dtrud0h, My Xoom is fairly new, not brave enough wipe it yet. Been reading up the Root procedures @XDA though, but I think you guys are doing a fabulous job. Will take the plunge once i'm sick of the stock ICS. Cheers!
Even with an unrooted Xoom, I believe that you can still add the .nomedia file to any accessible folders (not in the system area). Without root and an app to explore further (like Root Explorer), one should still be able to explore the user folders and create the file. Maybe the easiest way would be to connect to a PC or laptop, create the file on your PC then copy it to the needed folders that you can access. No doubt using quickpic is simpler but you should be able to drop some .nomedia files if needed without root.
Now is the best time to root anyway! Once you've had it for a while, got it all set up exactly the way you want, personalized just for you then you'll really hate to root and start all over from scratch. If you plan to root, just take the plunge! You'll be glad later when you don't have to redo every little setting PLUS Team EOS has done so much more for us that Google and Motorola ever have or ever will! Plenty of good folks here to help you out if you get into trouble but the process has been pretty easy and painless by our devs. Just my opinion anyway...whatever works for you!

I have the same problem on my Xoom running OTA ICS, but worse, my gallery app is ignoring .nomedia files and still displaying the media files.
I found a support ticket here that indicates the problem has been fixed with a patch --> AOS .nomedia patch
Wonder if this has been fixed in any of the custom ROMS?

Hi ,
I uploaded some pictures on my Gmail Drive yesterday via Laptop.
When I use the Android Google Drive Client on my Gingerbread , I have options of viewing it or making it offline.
Is there any way of downloading the pictures to my SD card ?
Making it offline doesn't help because once I remove the Google Drive App from my Droid , I will no longer be able to view that picture.
I want a permanent download so that my downloaded pictures appear in my gallery even after un-installation of Google Drive.
EDIT: [SOLVED]
Disable encryption via settings, and the files are accessible in the below folder. Thank the man

The files seem to be in the google docs application folder, which on my system is found in /mnt/sdcard/Android/Data/com.google.android.apps.docs/files/pinned_docs_Files_do_not_edit/*CRAZY FOLDER NUMBER*
However, viewing the files does not work. It seems that this is a feature they have not included (for whatever reason).
Dropbox lets you export files.
You could also try another service called "Box".
KeePassDroid with Google Drive
I was going to create a new thread but in searching found this one. I'll use this one as maybe it applies with certain features not yet being implemented? Or am I overlooking or doing something wrong? I'll keep this simple. I use KeePass V1.x and KeepassDroid to keep my passwords in sync. It works great with DropBox. I have my database stored in the cloud and whenever I make a revision, it syncs across all my devices. Being the Google Whore I am, I was excited to try it with Google Drive. NO GO!
I can access the file and open the database with KeePassDroid without any issues. If I make a change and try to save it I get the following error. /data/data.com.google.android.apps.docs/cache/filecache2/123456789/databasename.kdb.tmp: open failed: EACESS (permissions denied). It won't let me write back to the database like DropBox will.
When I made the file available off-line, it would let me save the file, but it would not save that file back to the cloud. Do you think it's a permission issue on my side, or a limitation right now with Google Drive? Quick side note: I'm using a ported version of ICS but not really having any other issues. But if others are able to write back with a 3rd party app, then maybe it is something to do with the port....just a thought? If anybody has any ideas....Thanks!

It *seems* to me like a limitation with their software. The fact that you can't even use the files outside of google drive/docs despite them being there indicates that either the files are encrypted, or in some other non-standard format. Uploading probably doesn't work because the file you put there are in the wrong format for the software to use them.
I switched back to Dropbox (which I never REALLY left) because of this. As a way to move files to your phone (like .zips to flash), Google drive falls short.

Glad to see this thread. First thing I did was try to copy a file to my SD Card from Gdrive. Just keeps trying to open them. Only option I had was send to Dropbox from Gdrive and export from there. Kind of a waste of time.
Just wait and see what features they add on. Its still very early.
Is your phone rooted? Using ES file explorer, and having the "up to root" toggle enabled, if I went to the root directory /mnt/sdcard/download directory all of the 4 files I synced with google drive were able to be copied using ES file explorer without any problem at all.
It's a bit annoying, but for now it works for me!

I could copy them no problem. The problem is, copied or not, they're unviewable.
Are you sure you are looking in the folder I mentioned, or are you looking in the folder that does not require root access? There is a link to those files in the directory that doesn't require root but even the thumbnail doesn't appear there.
Shrug, I pulled photos and a pc executable from that folder and copied it onto my SD card using the move option in ES file explorer which allowed me to email them to a friend.
How to enable Google Driver on my phone ?, i have download from Google Play but it's display not available in my country, hmm
When I went to the drive.google site after I installed the PC application it gave me a url to download the mobile app. I made sure "install non-market applications" was selected in my phone settings, opened up that site in my phone's browser, and installed it.
So I seem to have managed to get files from google drive onto my phone and tablet. I use an app called officesuite pro. I've got it on my prim and sgs2. It is a paid app but it connects to remote servers, google docs(drive), dropbox etc. If you access your files through there, you can copy the file, doc, zip whatever is on your google drive, and paste it to a local drive. All intact and usable.
This is crazy. As soon as my Drive was ready I transferred all my DB files to it thinking I'm all Google, so lets use it! Yeah, I can't access any of my files. With DB I could just long press a name, and download. Guess it's back to DB until Drive can do it too. Nice otherwise.

The folder you said was:
/mnt/sdcard/download , right?
I have the folder ( with a capital "D" though), except there are none of the files I made offline with drive in it.

same here. disappointing. but i hope they will change it in the future.
Yeah, it works with any type of file, I used it to download a zip. You can do it with jpegs too but you have to make it show unsupported files. Also, another way, probably easier is to log into google drive through your browser, you can download direct from there i've noticed. Just click on the file and it should give you the option to dl. Shame they haven't put this in the app.

Funny I was just trying this. It does work, but it renames the file to some long weird label. Have you found a way to keep it the same name?
To be honest, i've not really tried it through the browser but when I download it through officesuite pro, it retains the original file name.

Doesn't work for me. App themes work, but nothing shows in the gif window no matter what I search. Share button doesn't do anything either, but that could just be because there is nothing to share. Gif Overlay is set to be allowed to draw over other apps in my device btw.

That should only happen if there is an error contacting the server for the search or parsing the search response data.
Could you check adb logcat messages? You should see some error there.

Got it to work! For some reason it didn't work until I disabled my VPN. Then after a successful gif search I rebooted the device and it seemed to be working fine with my VPN. It works great now for most apps, but for the few that it doesn't, is it possible to maybe allow for the Gif to be somehow copied right into whatever text field you're in or is sharing to the app the only way? Great app though btw. Thank you!

As far as I know, you can copy the image to the clipboard. The problem is that the app where you are pasting will not understand you are pasting an image unless they have implemented that.

Generally, when you touch and hold an image in an app you can share or download it and share it to wherever, but i don't think I've ever seen a "Copy to Clipboard" option except when copying text. I see what you mean about pasting the image though and maybe a gif would be even more complicated to do that with.
I wonder if it would be better if you set it the touch and hold the image function to download the gif instead. Then you could add it anywhere.

Thank you! I tried it out and for some reason I'm still having connection problems. Even turning off my VPN doesn't seem to make it search. I noticed that sometimes when turning off my WiFi connection it will search right away, but not all the time. I wonder if I'm the only one having this issue. When it does search it does appear to download, but even when searching my entire sdcard for "gif" or ".gif" or even the name that it says it saved as afterwards I can't seem to find where it saves. It seems as if maybe it's not really saving, at least as a gif. Can't find it when opening the gallery either. Opening it in gallery from the download notification does show it, but it doesn't allow you to view any details on it either, nor does it let you share it when opening it like that. URL copy works fine, though maybe a toast message saying it's copied would help to let people know that it has copied, otherwise, unless you try to paste somewhere it appears as if it's done nothing. Share works fine as usual. Anyhow, I hope this helps. Thank you!

Can't see anything weird in the logs.
The download triggers the android downloadmanager so the file can go to some weird place like /data/data/com.android.providers.download. I could change it so it goes to the downloads folder but then I need to add an extra permission.
And yeah adding some sort of message or toast is a good idea.

That would be great. I think I figured out that it goes to "/data/data/gif.overlay/cache/image_manager_disk_cache". The files in there were ".0" format, but when I changed it to ".gif" they showed the gifs I was trying to download. Assuming those aren't just the cached images from the search that is. Regardless you can't really access them or share them when they're outside of the sdcard.

No the ones inside the gif.overlay folder are either cached images from the search (those are not the final version but downsampled images to make it faster) or files saved before sharing. The downloaded ones should end up as giphy.gif somewhere where the downloadmanager puts it (in my case /data/data/com.android.providers.download).

Yeah. Just checked and you're right. The gifs do go to"/data/data/com.android.providers.download/cache/". Strange that they weren't showing up in my system wide search. Regardless, it would be cool if they could go to the "downloads" or "pictures" or a "/sdcard/Gif Overlay/" folder or something. Then there would be no end to the possibilities.
Now I just have to figure out why it's only connecting like half the time. Just tried again and it worked. Earlier though it wasn't. It must be something on my end. Not sure.
EDIT: Downloaded "Advanced Download Manager" from the Play Store and set it to auto incercept copied links for now, so that now I just have to click the copy function in the app and ADM asks me where I want to save it to. Clean flashed a new rom too and now I'm not having any more connection issues btw. Must've been something blocking it on my old configuration.
Changelog 1.5
* Added option to select window position.
* Bug fixing.
I had an app on my phone that was used to hide photos. I used it for several years and no problems. Today I go to open the app and it was acting like it was my first time ever using it... then I look in the Private folder and its completely EMPTY. I had over 800 very important photos in there and I can not find them. I looked in google play for the app... and its gone. I even talked to Google Help people and they said the app is no longer in the app store.
So what am I supposed to do?
I looked in the phone, and I found a folder called .photosafe and another called .photosafe_DoNotDelete
i opened the donotdelete one and it has a camera folder in there, i open that folder and there is an images folder, a videos folder and 2 files. So i click on images and i believe its all my pictures but when i click on one to open it it asks what app i wanna open it with and i tried several and none work. i think they are just text files.
how can i get the pictures back? can i change the files to something so i can open them?
please help. I am completely devestaed. The p;ictures are very important to me.

Did you ever find a solution to this issue?
I have the same problem
Do you remember the exact name of that app?
If yes, try to google with it for some clues.
You can also post a thread for help about that app on sub-reddits, AndroidApps.
Good luck to you.
